Porridge

Anna: We can’t review a Bill Granger cookbook and not try a breakfast recipe. This is the man who apparently reinvented scrambled eggs after all. And having brunched in his Darlinghurst restaurant more than a couple of times I’d say he’s pretty good at breakfast!

Peter: Mmm. Huge plates of eggs and delicious flat whites…..

Anna: But we’re not in Sydney now. It’s cold and autumn has definitely arrived. Which is why I thought Baked porridge would be nice. Warm us up from the inside out. You’re sick though.

Peter: (meekly) Yes.

Anna: Did this make you feel better?

Peter: No. I wouldn’t say so. But it was very nice. Quite comforting. It tasted of autumn.

Anna: Dead easy. It needs to bake for an hour though, so it’s not a last-minute dish. When I tried the first spoonful I thought I might end up eating the whole lot, but luckily the oats kicked in and I got full pretty quickly. This is a perfect decadent but healthy(ish) brunch dish to warm the soul.
